Tarax Club

David Bowie wrote ‘All the Young Dudes’ for Mott the Hoople. lan Hunter with the signature very dark shades was a singer with the band. Mick Ronson also was alumni, associated famously with Bowie’s ‘Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars’. Lou Reed’s ‘Transformer’ album etc. Given the recent spate of gloom descending on DL, definitely got a buzz out of the boys “Taking Care of Business” on the track during Sixes slide show. The half empty and half way to Hades fraternity could defer to the BTO acronym as Backman Turning (it)Over.

Angus Brayshaw on today’s performance would be top of the leader board or very close to it. Any number of the others would be still working on their ‘skills’ … …swings, slices, drivers or irons? and put put

Give this guy the 8th guernsey.

Cheers 6 another terrific production. ❤️ the BTO takes you back.

Andy must be overly eager to celebrate Lunar New Year in this most auspicious Year of the Dragon Demon.

Bilbo Baggins has magically re-appeared?

You’re suggesting #19 visited a Bayou coven during the off-season?

For the benefit of those south of the Rio Grande, north of the Tweed the term port is preferred.

Cheers appreciate the abstract, summary and key points fellas. So that finally puts to bed the supposed benefits of the Tapp brothers synergism. KISS and make up works a treat.

So get out the abacuses, slide rules, Casio desk calculators, power up the IBM mainframe and call in the statistical analyst think tank. Q. To ‘objectively’ decide what? A. Max Gawn as a ruck man ‘qualitatively’ has the greatest influence on team success of any of the ruck men in the land.

Johnny English? AFL media were giving the impression all was well down at the kennel. Lucky Rory Lobb is the understudy.

Richo’s straight from the horse’s mouth injury and recovery report. Provides a fair bit of illumination about where a number of blokes are positioned relative to the start of the season. It should also debunk some of the prophet of doom speculation which has propensity to be trumped about on DL. Credit where credit is due, as the season proper approaches the club has upped the ante on keeping supporters informed.

Picket that's a second Joshua boost in recent reports. Many here would have him closer to the penny dreadful end of the spectrum but none the less an interesting watch. Has some ability just needs to overcome perennial stagefright.

Admire the bloke's tenacity. Just a flesh wound! A 6-8 week rehab will see him cherry ripe for round 0.

LDC count myself amongst you, but we are a disappearing breed. Perhaps the Gideons could co-dispense dictionaries. Wide reading l have found does encourage independent thinkers.

Here endeth the lesson.

Tom McDonald will be remembered by many supporters when the sun sets on his footy days. As a very competitive back man, a match winning forward and a great contributor to rise of the MFC.

Picket another terrific training report from Casey Fields. Pleased to read your positive take on the progress of Josh Schache and Adam Tomlinson, both psst nominees for the DL ‘Whipping Boy’ Hall of Infamy. Given your use of the familiar is Charlie Spargo a chance for redemption too?

Six trailer or teaser? Clocked in at 4 seconds! Anyways loved the mystery and romanticism of the accompanying musical choice. Star Wars is obviously passé with Isaac Asimov now the inspiration but who is l,Robot?

SONS, at the time undisclosed sources 'reported', somewhere on the cutting floor was a pilot trailer for a proposed Starwars interquel, tentatively titled The Architect of Doom. Fortuitously, the franchise (the AFL) 'ensured' it would never see the light of day.

Now there was a dasher off half-back. Gary at 187cm and 90kg was very similar in physique to Trent at 188cm and 88kg but played mostly at CHB. He could also drive a ball a distance, he was a magnificent raking drop punt in his pomp.

Apt or otherwise? Darth Vader went over to the Dark side. (Essendon) Jar Jar Binks overwhelmed, bumbling and inept but somehow manages to get to the right spot at the right time for the… …ball drop but can’t do anything with it (you’re being too kind). Meanwhile still flickering intermittently from the distant aftermath …

Picket you mlght have to loosen up a little more. Penetrene may help.
